Our Vision / Mission
Our mission is "Toward the era when everyone can play with their work. We are a company that operates the DX business with the mission of "Toward an age when everyone can play with their work.
With the declining birthrate and aging population, there is a growing need for society to be run by the same number of people or fewer than the current number of people.
We believe that "jobs that can be done by non-humans" should be replaced by AI and robots through the use of various technologies, and that people should specialize in jobs that only humans can do.
By doing so, we would like to realize a world in which people do not lose their jobs to machines, but rather enjoy doing creative, high-value-added work that only people can do, and feel fulfilled by it.
In addition, technology has an aspect of "difficulty".
Of course, when you take on a new challenge, you need to learn and get used to it.
On the other hand, we believe it is possible to make the level of difficulty as easy as possible.
Using western alphabet letters and technical terms may look cool, but it makes the hurdle pointlessly high.
But doesn't it make it more difficult?
Making something simple difficult is very easy.
What the world needs is to make difficult things easy.
But this is the most difficult.
We will continue to challenge ourselves to make things easy while using technology.
